The years when I was doing things in another world

Chapter 490 Visiting Yu Man
Xiao Jingshui and Guiyuejun split up after returning. Guiyuejun went back to his residence to think about how to deal with Hongchu Academy, while Xiao Jingshui went to Yu Man to fulfill his promise.

"...So, I misunderstood Ji Xingzhou."

In the flower hall, after listening to Xiao Jingshui's report, Yu Man was silent for a long time before responding.

Yu Man's voice was dry, as if a little embarrassed, but in fact it was true.

She slandered a man by being dominated by anger because of her prejudice.

For Yu Man, who is proud and clear about right and wrong, this is a difficult thing to accept.

Lin Shanshan was also a little hard to accept, but she didn't do anything embarrassing after all, so she felt a little less guilty.

But no matter what, the atmosphere in the small flower hall was a little condensed.

It was rare for Xiao Jingshui not to comfort others thoughtfully, but nodded affirming Yu Man's words with some confusion:

"Yes."

Yu Man's cheeks felt hot.

Deep down in her heart, she regarded Xiao Jingshui as an elder. Although Xiao Jingshui's words did not directly accuse her, it made her very ashamed.Xiao Jingshui has always been gentle, even at this moment, but it was her gentleness and tolerance that made Yu Man feel childish and immature.

"Yes, sorry..."

Yu Man's voice was as thin as a mosquito, if it wasn't for the monk's extraordinary five senses, Xiao Jingshui might not have heard it.

Yu Man was biting her lower lip uneasily at this moment, and her fingers were twisting a piece of fabric on the clothes awkwardly, with a painful expression on her face.

Xiao Jingshui said calmly: "This 'I'm sorry', you should say it to Xing Zhou."

Yu Man stopped talking, her expression became more embarrassing and shy, but she bit her lip harder, almost tearing her lower lip.

Xiao Jingshui's eyes dimmed, and Yu Man was obviously avoiding this topic.

Xiao Jingshui looked at Lin Shanshan who was at the side, and said, "Junior Sister Lin, is it convenient to avoid it for a while?"

She wanted to ask Yu Man alone about something. She might feel uncomfortable with Lin Shanshan in front of her.

Lin Shanshan nodded: "Of course it's convenient."

Lin Shanshan could probably guess that Xiao Jingshui wanted to untie Yu Man. Although she also wanted to learn how to untie her senior sister, just like Yu Man, she also regarded Xiao Jingshui as her elder.

On weekdays, it's okay to be casual with each other because of their similar age, but when the other party has made up his mind about what to do, she dare not refute anything.

After Lin Shanshan left the flower hall, Xiao Jingshui cast a soundproof barrier in front of Yu Man.

"You have a big prejudice against boating."

When Xiao Jingshui said this, he sighed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his gentle voice, but this was not an aggressive sentence, but Yu Man clearly felt that Xiao Jingshui was a little disappointed in her.

This realization made her heart tense, and then a trace of nervousness and fear arose—everyone would be nervous and fearful when the always amiable and easy-going elder showed disappointment in herself.

Yu Man finally let go of her pitiful lower lip bitten by her, and said helplessly, "I, I..."

She never thought it was too much to be honest with Ji Xingzhou in the past, but when this honesty was mixed with instinctive disgust, it influenced her at certain times and made her make wrong judgments Yu Man felt at a loss.And this mistake was discovered by an "elder", and she became even more at a loss.

Yu Man, who was at a loss, didn't know what to say for a while, and looked panic-stricken, like a helpless child.

Xiao Jingshui sighed, his expression was still helpless, but he gave a gentle smile that made people feel like a spring breeze: "I don't mean to blame you."

Xiao Jingshui's tone of voice was very gentle, with a strong sense of comfort.

She obviously knew her image in Yu Man's mind, not only an easy-going and knowledgeable brother, but also a deterrent elder.

So when she was hit hard, her consolation was effective and could make her feel at ease and even dependent.With this layer of dependence, she can ask a little bit about the grievances between the cousins.

They obviously had a festival before, Xiao Jingshui was also curious for a long time, now finally had the opportunity, Xiao Jingshui did not intend to let it go.

Yu Man was obviously soothed by Xiao Jingshui, and her expression was no longer so nervous, but obviously, she hadn't completely calmed down yet.

"It's normal for a person to have someone they like or hate, just as normal as a person to have emotions." Xiao Jingshui didn't follow the traditional routine to appease Yu Man, she continued in a gentle and tolerant tone, " There is no love or hatred for no reason in this world. This is what I have always believed in. You must have your own reasons for not liking boating or even loathing him.”

The vast majority of people and things in this world can be traced. Even the unpredictable lunatics mostly have their own set of reasons.

Xiao Jingshui doesn't believe that there is no quarrel between Yu Man and Ji Xingzhou, so he guides Yu Man to tell the truth carefully.

Yu Man's face flushed slightly, she never thought that Senior Brother Xiao would comfort her and find excuses for her at this time.

The shyness eased the anxiety, and Yu Man calmed down a bit. Although she was still uneasy, she was no longer like a shivering little rabbit.

"But Junior Sister Yu, it's not a good thing to turn disgust into prejudice and let prejudice control your reason, because you may become passive because of this, and even drag yourself into the quagmire of prejudice and hatred."

Yu Man finally calmed down a little, her face turned pale again, she sat awkwardly, like a primary school student who made a mistake, while Xiao Jingshui, like a class teacher.

Teacher Xiao said to his students in a gentle but strong tone: "You call me brother, I intend to help you get out of this quagmire, so sister Yu, you can tell me why you hate boating so much ?"

Yu Man went through some ideological struggles, and finally whispered: "I hate his promiscuity."

Well, for a good reason.but--

Xiao Jingshui's smile was still gentle and tolerant, and the trace of helplessness still remained intact: "It's true that sailing a boat is too romantic, but that's something you like and I wish, and we outsiders are not qualified to care about him."

Ji Xingzhou's relationship history is indeed criticized by others, but it is his private matter, and no one is qualified to take care of it except his future Taoist partner.

Xiao Jingshui's "outsider" made Yu Man stunned, she was not convinced and argued: "I am his cousin."

Xiao Jingshui looked calm: "Except for the Taoist couple, they are all outsiders."

In the world of ordinary people, relatives and friends may be more important than companions, but for monks, Taoist companions are far above everything else.

Taoist couples are sacred. They share similar interests, explore the Tao they pursue together, and even live and die together, sharing honor and disgrace.

Although blood relatives are also important, they are not as important as Taoist companions, because Taoist companions are the ones who will accompany you to spend the rest of your life.
